Toyota vs. the Competition in Florida


Why Choose a Toyota? Comparing Toyota to the Competition at Gettel Automotive

When it comes to buying a new vehicle, the choices can feel overwhelming. With so many makes and models on the market, how do you know which one stands out? At Gettel Automotive, we believe Toyota’s blend of performance, safety, and reliability makes it the perfect option for drivers who want a vehicle they can count on. But don’t just take our word for it – let’s compare Toyota to the competition and see why it's the smarter choice.

Performance: Toyota Vehicles That Stand Out

Performance is one of the most important factors when shopping for a new vehicle. Whether you're driving through the city, tackling off-road adventures, or hauling heavy loads, Toyota has a vehicle to fit your needs.

Toyota Trucks: Power Meets Efficiency

Looking for a truck that’s powerful, durable, and ready for work? Toyota's Tacoma and Tundra stand tall among their competitors.

  • Toyota Tacoma: This midsize truck is tough. With a 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid engine delivering 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, the Tacoma is ready for small tasks and off-road exploration. Plus, the six-speed manual transmission gives you that classic driving experience.
  • Toyota Tundra: Need more muscle? The Tundra’s i-FORCE 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 engine boasts an impressive 358 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. And with the option for a hybrid engine, you’ll get a jaw-dropping 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, making it a powerful choice for hauling heavy loads (up to 12,000 pounds).

Toyota SUVs: Ready for Any Adventure

Whether you’re towing a trailer or taking the family on a weekend getaway, Toyota’s SUVs offer the versatility you need.

  • Toyota Sequoia: With a powerful V6 engine producing 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, the Sequoia is an ideal choice for families who need to tow heavy loads – up to 9,000 pounds. It’s rugged enough for off-road adventures but smooth enough for city driving.
  • Toyota Grand Highlander: Featuring a 2.4-liter engine with 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, the Grand Highlander is perfect for long road trips and can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
  • Toyota 4Runner: The classic off-roading SUV. With a 4.0-liter V6 engine delivering 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, the 4Runner is made for those who want to get off the beaten path.
  • Toyota RAV4: If you’re looking for a compact SUV that still delivers power and fuel efficiency, the RAV4’s 2.5-liter engine with 203 horsepower is an ideal pick. Plus, with its off-road capabilities, it's ready for anything.

Toyota Safety: Advanced Features That Keep You Protected

When you’re on the road, nothing matters more than your safety. Fortunately, Toyota offers a suite of advanced safety features that keep you and your loved ones protected no matter where your adventures take you.

Standard Safety Features on Every Toyota

Every new Toyota comes with Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS) and Safety Connect®. These systems are designed to work together to provide comprehensive protection:

  • Toyota Safety Sense™ includes features like a Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Automatic High Beams. These technologies help prevent accidents by monitoring your surroundings and assisting when needed.
  • Safety Connect® ensures that you’re always connected to emergency services with 24/7 access to a Toyota response center, keeping you safe when you need it most.

Additional Safety Features

Toyota doesn’t stop there. Many models also come equipped with advanced features like a multi-terrain monitor, panoramic-view camera, and pedestrian detection to give you a full view of what’s happening around your vehicle.

Toyota Value: Reliability and Longevity

Toyota’s reputation for reliability is unmatched. Unlike other brands that may require frequent repairs, Toyota vehicles are built to last. Many Toyota drivers report that their vehicles run smoothly well past the 200,000-mile mark, making them a great long-term investment. Whether you choose a sedan, SUV, or truck, Toyota is known for its durability and minimal maintenance costs.
